Patient's question:
I am currently breastfeeding. Today, my father-in-law bought dog meat for me. I don't know if I can eat it. Does eating dog meat affect breast milk?Doctor's answer:
No, dog meat is rich in protein and has a very beneficial effect on the human body. It will not affect milk production, so it can be eaten in moderation during breastfeeding. If you want to increase milk production, you can eat more crucian carp soup and pig trotter soup. The key is to maintain a good mood, get plenty of rest, and eat more blood-boosting, energy-boosting, and calcium-rich foods. The baby will suckle more if you do these.For breastfeeding mothers, it is essential to ensure adequate sleep and rest, avoid staying up late, maintain a regular lifestyle, and keep a cheerful mood. Poor air quality can also affect milk production, so it’s important to ensure a fresh environment.
